With the NBA in prolonged lockdown, the salary cap is likely to plummet, which will affect every team in the NBA, including the New Orleans Pelicans.
With less money to spend on free agents, some teams are going to turn to internal fixes for their problems, which may mean re-signing more of their own guys.
The New Orleans Pelicans have a slew of middling free agents, including Derrick Favors, E’Twaun Moore, Jahlil Okafor, and Frank Jackson, whose days with the team are probably numbered.
Jackson is the only one with a realistic chance of returning, as the others have either played their way off the team or will be too pricey for the Pelicans.
